Read "The Offense Of The Drum" reviewed by Dan Bilawsky

Read "oMoo" reviewed by Hrayr Attarian

Read "Brad Mehldau: Dragons & Dreams" reviewed by Ian Patterson

by Ian Patterson

For many, pianist Brad Mehldau's recording Day is Done (Nonesuch Records, 2005) with drummer Jeff Ballard and bassist Larry Grenadier came as close to trio perfection as is reasonable to expect in your wildest dreams. Perhaps perfection is a chimera, yet even if attainable it's at best fleeting by nature. But for Mehldau that doesn't stop ...

Jenny Scheinman: The Littlest Prisoner

Read "The Littlest Prisoner" reviewed by Dan Bilawsky

by Dan Bilawsky

The playful-and-devious violinist with a glint in her eye and the poised alt-country singer aren't as far apart as some may think, as both are powered by the heartbeat of American life; it's just important to remember that ...
